Australia is on fire. Again. Happens every year around this time, but this year is worse. A lot worse, with smoke and haze covering large parts of the eastern seaboard. The effect of the fires can be felt in New Zealand where the smoke is causing blood red sunsets. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister of Australia has briefly offered a prayer in support. The deadly fires have killed hundreds of drop bears while scourging the countryside across several states.

    More on this.

    Where are you getting the idea there is more precipitation in Australia during the minimum?

    Where do you get that idea? I found it interesting how the only thing said about solar cycles is that there's more precipitation during minimums. That's it. By that logic then we arrive at Australia receiving more precipitation during solar minimums. If there is some argument to make that proves whatever you think you're saying, then by all means make that argument. But it's silly to accuse me of "making up straw men", when your (or perhaps some other AC's) argument really was that flimsy.
